    Cool, I always thought they had one of the most unique and cool looking designs out there.
    I wonder what that gar weighed, that thing is ridiculous.

    Pretty cool. I would love to get into bow fishing one day. And yes, I also agree, that is the biggest gar that I have ever seen.

    I used to have an Oneida Screaming Eagle when I was a teenager back in the early 90s. Put a Easton xx75 with a 125 grain 4 blade Muzzy through both of a 160# doe's shoulders at 25 yards once with that thing. Heckuva design. I miss that bow although it was a tank.

    I still have my Oneida screaming Eagle which I killed my first bow buck back in 1992. I plan on bringing her out of retirement along with using aluminium arrows to shoot with.

    As much as my fishing bows get beat up, I can't see having a $700 bow in my boat. Those must be for guys that wear matching shirts when they bow fish.

    I have an oneida osprey, in left hand. (Extra 100.00) :)

    The thing about the oneida is that it's a tough bow with great performance. I have mine turned down to the mid to upper 20s and have still got big bigheads in pretty deep water. And so far... the ospreys hold their value like crazy.

    I had one back when they first came out. I did get a couple does with it. I messed it up one day. I did a stalk on a woodchuck in a field. I crawled up to about 30 yards. I was shooting while sitting on the ground and the bottom limb slammed into the ground. That threw it out of time. After that I always had problems with it jumping time every so often. I lent it to a friend and he killed his first deer with it. He wanted to buy it after that so I sold it.

    I think I just heard someone fire an Oneida.............
    I just remember being at the bow range and wondering, how much noise is that bow going to make. I never owned or shot one.

    That's hilarious....and true. We used to have "shotgun starts" at our local archery club years ago. One time , nobody brought a shotgun so somebody said" why don't we just get Jim to shoot his Onieda``

    I used to arrive late to 3-D shoots, but could tell where the rest of my Oneida-shooting buddies were on the range if I would just listen. We were referred to as nut-crackers because someone suggested it sounded like cracking open hickory nuts when we shot. I continue to shoot an Oneida Black Eagle, and still have my old refurbished AeroForce in working order as a back up. Still shooting fingers, as well. Old habits . . . and great bows!
